More of the same today for the kids’ schedules. However, my mother and I were on a furniture shopping mission. We spent approximately 9 hours running in and out of stores. I am in need of a breakfast table and chairs along with a few other smaller home items. Because I’m a homeschooler and mother of four young children, I have durability and practicality high on my list of priorities for dinette selections. My children do lots of crafts and art projects at the kitchen table, so I need a surface that can handle that kind of wear and tear.
Of course, the weather decided to downpour rain upon us off and on as we shopped, and I had no umbrella to help us stay dry. By the end of the day, we found ourselves in our second Home Goods store being physically and mentally exhausted. You know the kind where you start to think that everything is funny, even when it’s not, because you are so tired. At one point we found ourselves laughing uncontrollably in the restroom, and I don’t even remember what we were laughing at. I’m just thankful that no one else was in the restroom because they probably would have thought that we’d gone mad.
Shopping took a great deal of time and work. Once we resume normal studies, I will not be able to have such a day as this again. 9 hours is a long time, but I’m grateful to be crossing things off of my to-do list!
